What size chainring is good on 1x10?

[MTBc]

Here's a cost effective option for a big sprocket on a 1x10 setup (instead of going 1x11), and not needing to downsize the front chain ring.

Finally what we have been waiting for.

 

I have just ordered one and should be here by end January (hopefully in time for Barberton XCM)

 

Interesting that it has 12 upshift points which I assume will enable smooth upshifting, which I see is an issue with General Lee. Been only the granny gear would enable longevity equal to that of the rest of the cassette.

 

If this works it will be a no brainer and way more cost effective than XO1 or XX1. I can live without the 10T. So a 11-42 can come in at under R2000 cassette and 42T.

 

Will give an update when it arrives etc.

Yes, finally, someone willing to be the guinea pig reviewer!

 

Let us know, I'm really keen to find out how this thing works.

[MTBc]

awesome, looking forward to the update.

[Roneblack46]

This is what I need as I am a pretty good climber and that extra bail out is what I need for Barberton and Sabie.

 

Well it is ordered so will update as soon as it is here. Pity about the mid January shipping as I have friends coming from US in 2 weeks time and they could have brought it with.

Sure it's been answered but with a narrow-wide ring up front do you need a special chain or is the chain already on my bike fine?

[milky4130]

so i went with 36T up front first time 1x10 (still needs to be fitted) & i'm having second thoughts, maybe should've started out with a 30 or 32 first

Any chain is good, 9,10 or 11 spd

No special chain needed. Just needs to be fitted as per the narrow/ wide teeth...

I'll take the 36 from you...

I'll take the 36 from you...

 

I have a brand new (still in packaging) 36t XX1 for you if you're interested, R900.

already spent enough on new chain ring & rear deraileur so I want to steer away from this conversion if possible.
